Mix it Up



Many fashionistas will remember their first toddling attempts at dressing, usually with disastrous results. Plaids were mixed with polka dots, hot pinks with kelly greens, and galoshes with your favorite tutu.

Believe it or not these eclectic constructions from your childhood are making a comeback. The contrasts aren't nearly so drastic, of course. Think less 'I fell into my closet' and more "It took an hour to look this random."

The trick is to find two contrasting prints within the same colour family (even having just one colour in common will work) . Usually it's better when one print in larger than the other, with the smaller print on the anatomy that you might want to minimize.

And don't forget that brights are in for the season, so don't afraid to go bold!
